AC Input/Output Connection
To avoid overloading your Inverter/Charger, be sure to match the power requirements of the equipment you plan to run at any one time (add their total watts) with the output wattage capacity of your Inverter/Charger model (see Specifications). When figuring the power requirements of your equipment, do not confuse “continuous” wattage with “peak” wattage ratings. Most electric motors require extra power at
• DoubleBoost™ Feature | • OverPower™ Feature |
Tripp Lite Inverter/Chargers deliver up to twice their nameplate rated wattage for up to 10 seconds,* providing the extra power needed to cold start
Tripp Lite Inverter/Chargers deliver up to 150% of their name plate rated wattage for up to 1 hour,* providing plenty of reserve power to reliably support tools and equipment longer.
* Actual duration depends on battery age, battery charge level and ambient temperature.
Connection for Models with Cords and Receptacles
Plug the Inverter/Charger’s AC input cord into an outlet providing 120V AC, 60Hz. power. Make sure that the circuit you connect your Inverter/Charger to has adequate overload protection, such as a circuit breaker or a fuse. To make use of AC output (either utility/genera- tor
Warning! Consult a qualified electrician and follow all applicable electrical codes and requirements for hardwire connection. Disconnect both DC input and AC utility supply before attempting hardwiring.
Connection for Models with Hardwire Terminals
Remove the screws and cover plate over the hardwire terminal box. Remove the knockout covers closest to the desired electrical source and to your equipment. Attach ½" diameter conduits

•Connect the outgoing neutral wire to the output neutral (white) terminal 5 .
Replace cover plate and tighten screws.* If the incoming conduit only contains two wires (hot and neutral), the incoming conduit must be bonded to the main ground lug on the unit. In any case, the incoming conduit must be bonded to earth or vehicle ground, and the incoming con- duit must be bonded to the outgoing conduit.
Redundant Switch/Indicator Light Panel (available on select models)
Additional top mounted switch/indicator light panel allows easy control and monitoring when Inverter/Charger is vertically mounted. Activate by setting Operating Mode Switch (located on the front panel) to “AUTO/REMOTE.” Top panel indicator light function is identical to the front panel indicator lights. Top panel “AUTO” and “CHRG ONLY” (Charge Only) switch settings are identical to the front panel Operating Mode Switch settings.
